EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the Innocence: A Glimpse into Hugh Myddelton School's Playground, London 1906". In this photograph taken in 1906, we are transported back to a simpler time at Hugh Myddelton School in Finsbury, London. The image showcases pairs of very young children engrossed in a delightful see-saw game within the school playground. As they joyfully balance up and down, their carefree laughter fills the air. The backdrop reveals the Northampton Buildings flats towering behind them, providing a glimpse into the surrounding neighborhood. This snapshot offers us an intriguing insight into early 20th-century London life. This historical gem is preserved by the Guildhall Library and Art Gallery as part of their extensive collection from the London County Council Photograph Library. It serves as a testament to both education and play during that era. The innocence radiating from these boys and girls reminds us of childhood's universal charm while highlighting how public education played an essential role even then. The fence enclosing this outdoor haven ensures safety while allowing these youngsters to explore their imaginations freely. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene frozen in time, it evokes nostalgia for days gone by when streets were filled with laughter and games rather than bustling traffic. Let us cherish this remarkable piece of history that captures not only a moment but also an entire generation's spirit.
